Here's what they have to say
Cruise on the Canal Saint-Martin
It was a lovely walk! The young woman who explained the history of the canals was very interesting.
Sightseeing Cruise on the Seine
A really cool way to get to know Paris
Cruise with Les Vedettes de Paris
We had a great tour, we were comfortable and had the best guides, who were very friendly and knowledgeable.
On Funbooker, you can pay by credit card, PayPal, Funpass credit, or Illicado.
You may cancel or change a booking subject to the service provider’s terms and conditions.
Most cruises last between 1 and 2.5 hours, though some options include dinner or evening cruises that run longer.
Yes, river cruises are family-friendly and welcoming for children of all ages, though some evening or dinner cruises may be better suited to adults.
You'll pass by many of the city's most iconic landmarks and monuments, with the exact route depending on the company and itinerary you choose.
It's recommended to arrive 15 to 30 minutes before departure to allow time for boarding and check-in.
Paris, the City of Light, conceals so many wonders. Admiring them from the Seine is certainly one of the most glamorous experiences you can have, from the Eiffel Tower to Notre-Dame, from the Jardin des Plantes to the Musée d'Orsay. Funbooker has put together a list of the best companies for a cruise that's just right for you. Discover them all.
Boats here hold no more than 12 passengers, embarking in the west at the Pont d'Issy for a cruise on a genuinely human scale. Plush bench seats and an expert skipper come as standard, and you're welcome to bring your own drinks and choose your own soundtrack.
Tailor-made itineraries are available too, letting you choose the stops along your own tour of Paris. A cruise for two makes an especially memorable, romantic outing.
Large boats here reveal the beauty of the capital, guided by the Bateaux Parisiens app on your phone, which brings anecdotes, quizzes and historical facts for a fresh angle on Paris.
Lunch or, more romantically, dinner cruises through the Parisian night are both on offer, and children aren't forgotten either, with a Miraculous cruise built around an immersive show.
This company favours the less touristy waterways, embarking at the Parc de la Villette and cruising down the canals before finishing on the Seine at the Musée d'Orsay.
Lunch cruises or guinguette dinners carry the musical atmosphere of a legendary Paris, and for those wanting to head up the Seine instead, a sunset aperitif cruise runs between the Eiffel Tower and the Bassin de l'Arsenal.
Guides on board share their knowledge and swap stories with passengers, bringing a genuinely human touch to these narrated cruises covering the history of the capital's monuments.
Special family cruises run commentary suited to young children along a route from the Palais de Chaillot to the Arab World Institute, and an afterwork Apéro cruise is also on the menu.
Their name is a reference in itself. Since 1949, this company has run a wide range of cruises between the Pont de l'Alma and the Eiffel Tower, aboard large, comfortable boats built to showcase the main sights of Paris.
An original, budget-friendly option: lunchbox cruises, where you come aboard with a sandwich menu to enjoy as you explore the riverbanks.
These vast boats have a special feature: open-air upper terraces where you can experience the Conciergerie by night, or the Place de la Concorde and its obelisk, from above deck.
Discovery cruises, dinner cruises or Happy Hour with live music are all on offer, and the boat-bar cruise on the Canal Saint-Martin makes for a great way to discover the "Paris of Parisians".
Formerly known as Marina de Paris, this company invites guests to savour excellent cuisine as they glide silently down the Seine through the Parisian nightlife, with French gastronomy, local produce and terroir all on the menu.
For a touch of extra luxury, the Maxim's restaurant barge offers an unforgettable, timeless voyage in a hushed, intimate atmosphere.
Discovering Paris over a fine meal while taking in its finest architectural achievements is the whole idea here, with a host of formulas to suit every budget: bistronomic, lounge, romantic Paris, luxury, bouillon or Michelin-starred dinners.
The company also runs lunch and sightseeing cruises. One tip: don't miss the view of the Pont Alexandre III and the Invalides, it's simply sublime.
This is a boat, yes, but what a boat. Designed for maximum comfort and decorated with real care, it carries guests from the Ile aux Cygnes at the Pont Bir-Hakeim into the wonders of Paris, dining at beautifully laid tables through the bewitching Parisian night.
An original alternative for Sunday: Parisians love brunch, and joining a brunch cruise every Sunday lunchtime, between sips of tea or champagne, lets you climb up to the panoramic terrace for an extraordinary view.
This was the first operator to offer canal cruises, back in 1983, taking guests on a voyage of discovery along the canals of Paris. Its Canal Saint-Martin cruises are well known, passing locks and swing bridges and discovering the famous Hôtel du Nord along a route narrated by a guide.
For those wanting the Seine after all, a combined cruise runs from the canal onto the river, taking in the highlights of Parisian architecture. In the evening, the champagne and macaroons cruise is a particularly convivial, particularly Parisian touch.
Two boats share one goal here: a magical dinner cruise as the sun sets and Paris lights up. This exceptional boat comes with a gigantic terrace and breathtaking panoramic views, the perfect setting for refined, gourmet dining.
A more classic and intimate barge, Théo, lets guests enjoy delicious dishes while floating along, with a bar on hand to enhance the evening further.
Pontoon boats here accommodate up to 12 people for genuinely intimate cruises on the Seine, with floating aperitifs organised at the end of the day, an ideal way to get together with friends and family.
The company stays firmly committed to the environment, combining the pleasure of cruising between the fashion district and the Louvre with real ecological awareness. Part of the fleet already runs fully electric.
A romantic dinner under the Pont des Arts, skirting around the Statue of Liberty replica, and a delicious cocotte dish define this ship's specialty: an unprecedented visual and olfactory gastronomic experience.
The interior comes fitted with elegant, comfortable club armchairs facing large picture windows, for what amounts to a genuinely glamorous cinema-style experience.
Aboard the Cap Camarat, a five-seater boat, guests are guided by a chef who knows the history of Paris inside out, cruising the Seine in total privacy along the "Paris and its Wonders" itinerary.
There's no anonymous crowd and no elaborate cuisine laid on for you; you bring your own food and drink instead. For couples wanting to capture the soul of the city of lovers, a private breakfast cruise through the early morning, away from the crowds of tourists, is also on offer.
The most original way to see Paris has to be a tour aboard an amphibious bus, winding through the narrow streets of the Marais before your driver heads for the Pont des Arts, and suddenly the boat-bus sinks into the Seine.
From there, the route runs along the Louvre and near the Eiffel Tower, before getting back on the road and, why not, heading for the majestic gilding of the Château de Versailles.
